According to ESPN ... Howard is gone to LA

[capstone21]

Orlando is now basically an expansion teamTime to move on from the Howard/Paul coming here.

The dream is dead :sad:DAMN YOU FERRY we could of atleast been part of the deal to get bynum. Philly didnt even give up much iggy/1st rounder/ some late 1st round prospects.The hell are we going to do now :sad: There wont be any significant free agents for awhile. We are going to use our cap space to max out teague and smoove now?

[Jody23]

Wow. Just wow. The Orlando Magic held out and held out to only settle for this deal? Smh.

You are acting like a team wanted our assets to get Bynum.

[WraithSentinel]

With this trade that take not only Howard off the market for us. It is likely taking Bynum off the market as well. Well that time to get behind and support Teague. Hope he develops into a legit PG. We need to go strong after Harden next year and re-sign Smoove is a top priority.

This. I'm not sure how the Houston deal isn't significantly better. With 13 months to pull the trigger on a trade, this is a pretty pitiful return.

[Sothron]

Time to land a superstar in FA or just blow it all up and collect lottery picks until we land a superstar.

[DrReality]

With all the talk about culture D12 might have undermine Ferrys efforts. I for one am glad he's not a hawk

[GameTime]

I don't know what to say. I am speechless right now.

[lethalweapon3]

Another Southeast Division team to feast on? Cool!~lw3

[AHawks89]

Lakers always rippin off people...no surprise.

[Deeman]

The NBA might as well cancel the regular season and let the Lakers and Heat have at it already.

[Diesel]

Welp... once again, everybody bends over so that the Lakers can get what they want.The Lakers give up an ending contract and a first for Howard.The Magic didn't even want Bynum.That means that we could have shipped Smoove off to Philly and got the same deal done.

[JTB]

Explain to me why you guys think that bynum isn't possible for us to get now?

He is just as available .... Honestly I don't want to spend max money on him... He is too injury prone

I'm guessing Morey took it off the table when Dwight and co pretty much said they'd stroll right over to their instate rival if they did.

You have to figure they're going to flip Pau for additional assets.

[lethalweapon3]

D12 still insists he won't sign an extension and will go to free agency in 2013. "Please hold on to the bar..." https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/statuses/233755390599372800 ~lw3

Pau wasn't moved in the deal, Orlando got Arrington, Afflalo and Harkless.

Oops, thanks - I was going by what I saw earlier. Wowzers indeed.
